Simon Betschinger asked for understanding for people who mocked Elon Musk because of his flying Tesla Roadster. He wrote that there had been skepticism towards new inventions in the past. On July 3, 1886, Carl Benz publicly presented his three-wheeled motor vehicle for the first time in Mannheim. The German Patent and Trademark Office described the reactions to the first drives as disappointing. Despite reports in the local press, the hoped-for response was missing. Many people considered the vehicle to be impractical; the German UNESCO Commission also confirmed that the invention had initially been ridiculed. #Innovation #Geschichte #Technologie (translated)

Ms. Hodl wrote that after her 60th birthday she would begin a new chapter and now wants to write books. In 1990/91, she worked as a young biotechnologist in a laboratory in Heidelberg on the fermentation and purification of recombinant hirudin, which was produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 36 years later, she is researching the history of those technologies in a scientific library in Heidelberg, which she once worked on herself. She wants to write about molecular biology, the history of biotechnology, research, patents, companies, and the people behind them. In doing so, she brings scientific curiosity, a critical perspective, and her own laboratory experience to the table, she explained. #Biotechnologie #Wissenschaft #Lebensgeschichte (translated)

The real estate buyer wrote that he had been involved in the real estate market for eleven years and began to publicly present himself under his own name at the end of 2022. In mid-2023, he stated that he started to point out that property prices had already fallen sufficiently, and his team began to buy. A year later, he claimed it turned out that they were buying almost at the bottom of the market. He noted that since the end of 2023, they had been making one acquisition after another and at the same time helped nearly 70 families acquire their own housing. By the end of 2024, he said he started to limit investment purchases because prices were distancing from economic reality and purchasing power. In 2025, he described the market as less rational and began to publicly recommend selling some properties. By the end of the year, according to him, they sold more than they bought, and properties that no longer made sense in terms of returns and costs were mostly sold at peak market prices. The real estate buyer stated that some clients had approved mortgages with a rate around 4.4% and at least a two-year term for drawing. He also wrote that the number of apartments on the public market increased by 35% and mortgage rates reached 5.4%. He added that his experience led him to encourage people to rely on their own judgment when making decisions, but to be prepared to bear the consequences of any mistake. #nemovitosti #investice #realitnítrh (translated)

According to reports, it would no longer be necessary to carry a paper driver's license and vehicle registration, as law enforcement would be able to verify them electronically. The site stated that there would be an indefinite ban on circulation for vehicles without insurance and that foreign vehicles present in Italy for more than 30 days would have to comply with Italian insurance regulations. For amounts not paid by foreign users, enforced collection would be provided for. Among the other news indicated by Ultimora.net were the reduction of fines and the suspension of the automatic biennial adjustment to inflation, in addition to the decrease from 90 to 45 days for notifying reports related to remote checks without immediate contestation. The age limit for professional transportation with trucks and buses would rise from 68 to 70 years, while motorcyclists would be allowed to use the emergency lane on the highway in case of accidents or significant slowdowns. Ultimora.net also reported that helmets and identification would become mandatory for powered cycles, including some bicycles used by riders, and that electric scooters would be banned from circulation when obstructing or endangering pedestrians. Finally, all municipalities would have to join the national platform for the European disabled identification badge; those that do not comply would not be able to use remote detectors to confirm violations in reserved parking and ZTL areas. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #NuoveNorme (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that her criticism of modern art in B.T. could also be directed at Jens Galschiøt's Trump sculpture, which she described as vulgar kitsch. She believed that much modern art was poorly conceived and executed political contributions that conveyed propaganda for an oikophobic establishment rather than uplift or give spirit to the human condition. Selsing stated that she was not surprised that the Danish Arts Foundation supported that type of projects. She pointed out that artists, works, funds, and museums, in her view, were influenced by left-leaning individuals, and that the result was often works characterized by ugliness, death, something unpleasant, and meaninglessness. She emphasized that her criticism was not about art being provocative, but that provocation had been highlighted for decades as the only or most important task of art. She asked why art should not also show beauty, and called provocation that followed the demands of the time ideological commission work. Selsing rejected that she had the sole right to define art but believed that works that could be reduced to poorly conceived political contributions were not good art—if they were even art at all. She referred to most modern art as societal-degrading kitsch. #ModerneKunst #Kitsch #KunstDebat (translated)
